Another hill that I have subsequently climbed numerous times. Again the first time was special. I had no real hill craft, but was lucky in that we had excellent weather. The highlight was a cracking return via the Corridor Route. This walk became the start of a life long hobby.

Beautiful warm day and not a cloud in the sky (in February?). Approached from car park below Wrynose Pass, which was fun in the ice! Walked up through the fields and then into the higher valley before cutting across the river into a gully that led to the pass immediately below the summit. Then combined walk with Sca Fell. Excellent Day.

Its meant to be summer!! Freezing cold and very wet. And a load of Nutters on the path doing a triathlon, swimming across Windermere, cycling to Scafell Pike, then running up it! Have they nothing better to do!

Climbed up via Brown Tongue and Lingmell Col in bad weather - cloud from about 650m severly reduced visibility, and high winds rendered the summit pretty inhospitable. We intended to descend via Great End but due to the bad weather decided to descend the way we went up. Hope to get up again and make it a more interesting day out.

Route Climbed: From Eskdale over the top and down to Wasdale Date Climbed: 14 August 2004

Spledid approach from Eskdale, a stunningly wild little valley and virtually deserted of people. Sadly no view from the summit but we bivied down at hollow stones for the night and only got a little damp!

Was in the Lake District for work purposes, but I made sure I found time to climb the highest mountain in England.

As luck has it I chose a lovely day for it, though I left too late so didn't have time to return via Esk Pike and Bow Fell as intended. Instead I went down the way I came up and was back in time for dinner and a few drinks in the pub.

This was an excellent trip out, the walk up to Scafell Pike has some excellent views. We climbed off of Scafell Pike onto Mickledore, then we did an easy grade1/2 scramble up the North Face of Sca Fell, which really finished the day in style. Well worth a trip out.
